doing it right this time..
 

I have been trying to change my lifestyle so many times that I dont even want to mentioned it here .. I think we all been "there" that stage where you try and give up .. But I am tired of giving up on myself .. geez.. I need to take action before the doctor says it to me :o

Hi Everyone my name is Erika , I had weight issues since my early 20's , i can see my life a decade ago like a rollercoaster! up and down with the wt.
I'm 34 now and mom to 3 beautiful boys of 3,19 months and 2 months old ..

Something happen to me after give birth instead of losing wt I started gaining wt.. ( I guess I was not those lucky women that lose wt after giving birth)

I think it's been 3 weeks now that I noticed my hips hurting everytime I walk!! or when I go up and down the stairs :?: , I knew then that I gotta do something about it !!..

I hope I can find friends ,people just like me that is trying to give this a try , but this time .. doing it right !!... are you on board ??;)

Hi Erika.

Welcome to the site!

Like you, I have tried all sorts of things to no avail. I have come to the conclusion that NOTHING will work for me except for good, old-fashioned exercise and a good diet plan that doesn't make me feel like I'm starving. Since I follow the Biggest Loser plans, I am making progress. However, I have certain comfort foods that I have to still learn to enjoy but in MODERATION! LOL! I will get there, though!

I had thought about bariatric surgery but can't afford it. I don't have insurance that will cover it. Whatever.

Anyway, good luck to you and once again, welcome!

Hello and welcome to the board!

We're glad to have you here. This is a great place to come for support, guidence and motivation. Nice to meet you! :-)

This is a great place to get all the support you need, and advice as well. I lost weight briefly after the birth of my twins (now four) but gained it all back and then some rapidly after that :( I'm finally at a place in my life where I can truly focus on getting healthier, and while I've experienced set-backs over the last five months, I've worked hard and I never want to go back again. Good luck, this site helps!!

thank you everyone ! I feel like I am not alone anymore :)
